Well, this is way outside my normal Alaska wildlife type post. We had an airline mileage situation where we were either going to use it or lose it, so we decided to take a quick trip to Japan!
These photos are outside our hotel room in downtown Tokyo. ShinJuku district to be exact so many cool little bars and restaurants
Last summer, I had the incredible opportunity to explore the breathtaking Shakes Lake, nestled up the Stikine River near Wrangell, Alaska. This hidden gem is truly a photographer’s paradise! ?? The vibrant hues of the water, contrasted against the lush green landscapes, created a stunning backdrop that felt almost otherworldly. I spent hours capturing the mesmerizing reflections and tranquility of this pristine location. Each click of the shutter brought me closer to understanding the raw beauty of Alaska’s wilderness. During my Alaska black bear photo tour, I also encountered these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Witnessing them forage and interact with their surroundings was nothing short of magical. The delicate balance of life in this untouched corner of the world left a lasting impression on me. If you’re looking for rugged beauty and a chance to connect with nature, Shakes Lake and the surrounding area are must-visit destinations. Can’t wait to share more of my adventures and snapshots from this unforgettable trip!
For years when we traveled in the desert Southwest friend would tell us we need to go the the Chiricahuas, that they are a secret gem. The last few years we have made a number of trips there, mostly to the Portal / East side, but also to the National Monument / West side. Our friends were right, it is a secret gem with a tiny fraction of the visitors places like Sedona or the Grand Canyon Receive.
Well the secret is out. Yesterday the Chiricahuas just became Chiricahua National Park! That is very exciting, and mostly a good thing I believe, although it could lead to an increase in visitor numbers. It is great seeing folks enjoy our National Parks, but selfishly, I like having them to myself as well.
This was from December 2024 on a camping trip with a buddy from Fairbanks. Since we were mainly camping / hiking, I didn’t bring my “real” camera, this was with an iphone. I’ll need to go back with my real camera, although I recognize more photographs of the area can lead to more visitors as well. I certainly recognize I’m being hypocritical wanting to share / not share, but I’m human. Either way, it is a beautiful place.
